Paul Joynson-Hicks is a wildlife photographer in East Africa. One day, while looking through his photos, he found himself laughing out loud at a shot of an eagle looking at him from between its legs. Another interesting photo captured a warthog’s bottom. These silly photos gave him an idea. He realized that funny animal pictures could not only make people laugh but also make them more concerned about wildlife. As a result, he started a yearly competition called the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards in 2015 to find the funniest nature photos.
保羅．喬伊森－希克斯是一位東非的野生動物攝影師。有一天，他翻看自己的攝影作品時，發現自己被其中一張一隻老鷹從兩腿之間望向鏡頭的照片逗得哈哈大笑。另一張有趣的照片則拍到了一隻疣豬的屁股。這些搞笑的照片讓他靈光一閃。他意識到這些逗趣的照片不僅能讓人發笑，還能讓大家更關切野生動物。因此，他在 2015 年開辦名為搞笑野生動物攝影獎的年度競賽，藉此找出自然界最有趣的照片。
